Figure shows a liquid being pushed out of a tube by pressing a piston. The area of cross section of the piston is 1.0 cm^2 and that of the tube at the outlet is `20 mm^2`. If the piston is pushed at a speed of `2cms^-1`. What is the speed of the outgoing liquid?

From the equation of continuity
`A_1v_1=A_2v_2`
or `(1.0cm^2)(2cms^-1)=(20mm^2)v_2`
`or v_2=(1.0cm^2)/(20mm^2)xxcms^-1`
`=(100mm^2)/(20mm^2)xx2cms^-1=10cms^-1`

A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are 20mm and 1mm respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. If the piston is pushed at a speed of 5mms^-1 , the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of
